The Silicon Prairie Home Companion | Sarah Hill at Healium

In part one of my conversation with Sarah Hill, the founder and CEO of Healium, she talked about how her exposure to trauma as a journalist inspired her to create VR and AR software, powered by wearable technology, to help manage anxiety.

In this second part of our conversation, Sarah explains why she recommends starting your company as service-based as opposed to product-based, and she also discusses some of the challenges of starting a tech company in an area of the country not typically associated with technology.

After 20 years as a TV reporter covering trauma, her media diet of reporting the day’s headlines ultimately made her sick.
